Ambassador of France to the United States Laurent Bili attends a ceremony at George Washington’s estate in Mount Vernon, Virginia, on July 3, 2023. A continued stalemate led by congressional Republicans over U.S. aid to Ukraine in fighting its war with Russia fails to take into account that freedom around the world is at stake, the French ambassador to the U.S. said Monday.
French President Emanuel Macron on Sunday elevated that nation’s security alert status to its highest level in the wake of the attack that killed at least 137 people on Friday and said his country had foiled two attempted attacks. The Islamic State, or ISIS, claimed credit for the attack and U.S. officials have tied the attack to the Islamic State in Khorasan, an ISIS affiliate operating in central Asia, and had provided warnings to Russia.
France, with a “tradition of freedom and willingness to live together” has been targeted by terrorist attacks for many years. Bili said. “ISIS in Khorasan is also one of the movements that is rising up. We are stepping up cooperation and we enjoy a great degree of cooperation with the intelligence community in the U.S,” he said.
